Borels law states that some probablities are so small.
That they are next to impossible.
That is there is no chance of life originating by chance.So why not give God the benifit of the doubt.
Four spiritual laws of creation science.
LAW 1. There are a million and one reasons to believe
evolution.
LAW 2. There are a million reasons to believe creation science.
LAW 3.You have to choose the million reasons to believe.
LAW 4.You have to want to believe.

There is no such thing as a probability so small it
is equivalent to impossibility. If something is really
impossible then it has nothing to do with probability. Furthermore, there is no force called
chance that can cause anything. No one believes
that life originated "by chance". If it originated on
its own without a creator, then it originated through
natural laws that made it possible. Chance is just
a term we use for our ignorance when something
is so indeterminate we can not predict it. When
we flip a coin we say the chance it will be heads is
one in two, and the same for tails. This is because those are the two ways it is most likely to
fall (it could stand on edge, but how often would
that happen) and we can't predict which it will be.
Which way it actually does fall is a result of the
force given when it was flipped and its rebounding
from anything it hits, but this is too complicated a
thing to measure and predict so we rely on the
probability instead.

As for your four "Laws", which are not laws, there
is no such thing as creation "science" much less
a million reasons to believe it. The creationists
themselves (at least some of them, there are a lot
of different breeds of creationists) admit that there
can be no such thing as a science of creationism,
because they claim the laws of nature are different
now than at the time of the creation. This means
there is no way to study the origin of life at that time scientifically, hence no science of creation.

Let's say that the chance that a self-replicating molecule will be formed in a particular microlitter of primordal soup within a particular microsecond is one to a million million million millions, or 0.000000000000000000000001.

Let's say that the history of the Earth allows a time interval of 100,000,000 years in which this could have happened.

Let's say that the primordial soup was a layer of ten meters, covering the most of the tropical and subtropical ocean.

Now you do the calculations. But first, what does your intiution say about such probabilities? I could probably add or remove a couple of zeros from one of the parameters without many people taking notice. Yet it might have crucial influence on the result.

Now do the same calculation, but not for a single molecule but for the whole chain of events.

I think this is a useless exersize. We know the result already:
- Depending on your choicce of parameters, the results may be "almost impossible", "almost certain", or anywhere in between
- There are so many different parameter values that make it plausible for life to get started, that the calculations don't tell us anything useful.

The argument is, of course, nonsense. None of the "laws" have any validity whatever. In the first place, probability has no place here: we are dealing with an event that happened, so the probability is 1. I have developed a proof that evolution is correct, so it is no longer necessary to make a choice. (Contact me via avatar if you want the details.) Even if you wanted to make a choice, creation "science" is an irrefutable theory, so it is useless. (I have proved that also.)
The bottom line is that evolution is not only established science (workers in the field use it routinely to make correct predictions), but it is now provably correct. Which is rather remarkable, as not many scientific theories can actually be proven.

It is very simple:
LIVE COMES FROM A LIFE GIVER! GOD, PEOPLE, GOD, THE LIFE GIVER OF ALL THINGS AS PER THE BIBLE.

This about it, why aren't there animals and people popping out of the ground on their own, that is what you are saying when you say everything was made by chance, and to be perfect with a purpose, they call themselves SMART???? THERE IS NO CHANCE THAT THIS HAPPENED ALL BY ITSELF, NONE. and there is not a million reasons, just one, life does not just create itself. Did you just create yourself?? Would you have the ability to do that? NO, NO, NO....When you figure that out, let me know. so I can "whip up a maid". .

It doesn't there aren't a million and one reasons to believe in evolution.
